About Ken

Ken is a young, large, brown and chocolate mixed-breed pit bull who’s been waiting in boarding far longer than he should. He ended up there as a short-term solution after coming into rescue with his siblings and mom, but now he needs a foster or adopter in Connecticut. Ken is friendly, eager to bond, and always ready for adventure. He thrives on activity and loves being out and about, especially with an energetic, experienced family that can keep up with his playful side. Ken is house trained, crate trained, and knows his basics, but he’ll do best if his adopters continue his training and socialization. Ken does well with other dogs his size and children over 10, but is not suited for homes with cats, small dogs, or small animals. He’s affectionate and loyal, quick to love his people, and easy to root for. Born June 1, Ken is a curious and social Gemini, so he’s happiest with plenty of interaction and action built in. Ken isn't a hard dog to love—it just takes the right home to let him show his best self. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
